Running for Hope!

Gregg Ellis is running across Georgia for the Carter Hope Center located in Dalton, GA. The race starts on July 15th. Help make a difference!

This year Gregg is running from Florida to Chattanooga, TN in 8 days! The trip will be a total of 420 miles and will end at the Chattanooga River Boat downtown. You might ask why is Gregg Ellis willing to put his body through this intrepid endeavor? Here is a piece of his story:

After 15 years of losing everything he cared about to his addiction, Gregg tried rehab. In his last effort to regain control of his life Gregg went to the Carter Hope Recovery Center. Among the help from the center Gregg found solace in running. His passion for straightening his life up paired with his passion for running got Gregg back on his own two feet.

Gregg has been raising money for Carter Hope Recovery Center ever since he joined the board of directors at Carter Hope Center and is still running! This summer Gregg is running 420 miles in Journey of Hope #FL2TN. Help support Gregg on his campaign to raise money for Carter Hope Recovery Center in Dalton, GA and influence lives of those stricken by addiction.

15 years of drug addiction left Gregg Ellis a broken and hopeless man. Not knowing where to turn, he checked himself in to the Carter Hope Center. This was his last chance, and he knew it. He had been to several other centers, never able to get his life on track. This time was different though, he was determined and the Carter Hope Center gave him that little bit of HOPE that he had longed for.

He dove headfirst into his recovery and got really involved with the center, grabbing a hold of them like a life preserver. He will tell you to this day that Carter Hope Center saved his life.

Help Gregg give back and restore hope to others at the Center. He will be running in the Race Across Nebraska, a 511 mile footrace in 10 days, to help raise money for the Carter Hope Center. We simply call it "The Journey of Hope".
